Package Contents

Features

• 1 x AT-PA100-G2• 1 x Locking AC Adapter• 1 x User Manual

• AT-PA100-G2 is a class D amplifier which uses less energy, doesn’t require heat syncs or power transformers, making it smaller than a class A/B amplifier• Stereo, mono, and bridge audio speaker output connections available through captive screw• Has a variable 3.5mm audio loop out for cascading to another AT-PA100-G2 or connecting to other audio amplifiers• 3 pin captive screw MIC input can support balanced and unbalanced signals (suppresses external noise)• Energy efficient standby mode only requires 4Ws of power. AT-PA100-G2 goes into standby mode if an audio signal isn’t present• Control through the panel buttons, an (optional) IR remote, and RS-232• 3 position input switch: 48V phantom power - best for condenser MICs without battery power MIC - Great for Dynamic MICs and battery powered condenser MICs Line - Connect a Wireless MIC• Volume, Bass, and Treble can be controlled through RS-232, IR, or panel buttons

Back Panel

1. Locking 24V Port: Connect included locking power supply here.2. 3.5mm variable audio loop out: Loop out to another AT-PA100-G2 or audio amplifier with a 3.5mm stereo audio connector3. Captive Screw Audio: Connect to speakers

Note: In a cascading chain, the AT-PA100-G2s will share the source of the 1st AT-PA100-G2.Note: When using the loop out, the output is variable and dependant on the volume level. If cascading, the 2nd AT-PA100-G2’s volume will change with the 1st AT-PA100-G2.Note: The volume status is available through RS-232 feedback from the first AT-PA100-G2.Note: When cascading, the MIC is only available for the first AT-PA100-G2’s speaker output.
